Hannah's gone away,
But not for very long.
She just went, through the gate,
To sing a brand new song.

There, she found a bright new day,
With no clouds in the sky.
She's waiting there to welcome us
When we go, bye and bye.

Hannah's spirit lingers
In the corridors of time,
Bringing smiles of memories
Each time we loose our mind.

That certain smile, that accent,
The understanding eyes,
The certain step, the laughter: her,
Delight at sweet surprise.

She found a gate wide open
And felt so welcome to come in.
She only took a step and found
Her little hand in His.

Hannah's waiting for us
In a land of perfect day.
I know she's watching, always,
To spy us on the way.

She'll run with welcome in her heart.
She'll give the sweetest kiss
And let you know He'll make up
Every single thing you missed!
